Looking at these beautiful drawings, you see stories. Some are clear, some left untold, but all touching. Nine months ago Bored Panda introduced you to the deep drawings of Japanese illustrator Avogado6. The artist chooses to keep most of his identity a mystery, and not much is known about the person behind the illustrations. "I am an ordinary person who likes chemistry," he writes on his Twitter profile, but as you will see, his works filled with profound meaning are far from ordinary.

Avogado6 manages to create sentimental, vivid images by drawing feelings and emotions that are hard to describe with words. The drawing ideas might look simple at first glance, but they have incredibly deep meanings and, usually, are quite dark.

The artist has over a million followers on Twitter and has even published three books.

Or another darker interpretation is their parents are they type of couple so in love with each other the child gets forgotten and seen as little more than an accessory.

love is what holds a child's life in a family. let it go, and they will be lost.

that is why marriage is important - a commitment to one another and a commitment to the family you will create.

I would offer that it is about divorce as soon as the parents give up a the child gets emotionally hung

Or maybe these parents decided to stay together in a fake love relationship "for the sake of the child", without realising the pain they're all causing to the kid and each other.

Mother is the one who holds the string, still the boy is clinging to his father's clothes. Also, father is holding mother's arm - supporting her or maybe preventing her from releasing the string? I see it as a family where one of parents may be more prone to showing its feelings but also isn't very mentally or emotionally stable. This love, while needend and honest, may also be destructive - that's why there is a string tied to child's neck. It is the other parent, maybe more firm and cold at first glance, who is trying to put the family together. I think the child knows it and it is why he sticks to its father. He knows that he needs both - feelings from his mother and safety from his father.

To me, this means the child is what's keeping the parents together.

When two people stay in an unhealthy relationship "for the kids", even though the unhealthy relationship is worse for the child.

My interpretation is that the balloon is helium and the parents love and togetherness is what is keeping him from flying away.

Child is just an example and result of his/her parent's marriage

If you look closely the string is in the mother's hand and the child is closer to her. The mans hand is over the woman's in a dominant manor. I think the mother is protecting the child from the father. At least that's what I think.

I don't understand why people think the grim reaper is bad. The grim reaper isn't the killer,he is just supposed to lead your souls right? When everyone is scared of the grim reaper they really are just scared of death

Investing in your child just to later use him to realize your own goals. Distasteful and very, very sad.

This one hits far too close to the truth. Working on that side of the desk this picture perfectly sums up how it can feel taking verbal blow after blow while keeping a pleasant tone and smile on your face because it's that or loose your job.

This one is somehow so creepy and ominuous. I wonder what the point is .. the feeling that everyone and everything is waiting for your mistake? One step aside and game over?

Even if you die, there is always something that remains after you. These lycorises are beautiful - even if they grow up on a dead body. For me, despite all of grimness on this picture, it is still full of hope.

This one is so sad. I hate seeing parents with their little ones who just want their attention.. I hope to NOT be one of these parents. My children will ALWAYS be more important than my phone.

I see it as an isolation in her own world. The girl is so concentrated on her plans and goals (documents in her arms, money attached to her oxygen bottle) that she doesn't have time to enjoy the world outside her box and just live on. Maybe she even doesn't want to because it feels safer not to go out?
